Médecins du monde - Doctors of the World

Who we are

Doctors of the World provides essential medical care to excluded people at home and abroad while fighting for equal access to healthcare worldwide. Through our 3,000 volunteers we help people affected by war, natural disasters, disease, hunger, poverty or exclusion get the healthcare they need regardless of income of status.

Whether it’s providing mental healthcare to Syrian refugees, vaccinating children in Mali, or delivering babies in the DRC we meet the health needs of vulnerable people across the planet. And where possible, we share our skills and training locally so communities stay strong in the long term. We also work with the most marginalised to report on violence, injustice and healthcare barriers wherever we see them.

We are part of the Medecins du Monde global network, which delivers over 300 projects in more than 70 countries. In the UK, we run a clinic and advocacy programme in east London that provides medical care, information and practical support to excluded people such as vulnerable migrants, sex workers and people with no fixed address.

Our vision

Our vision is for the world’s most vulnerable - those affected by war, natural disasters, disease, hunger, poverty or exclusion - to receive the healthcare they need regardless of income or status.
